Delivering Change, Healthy Moms – Healthy Babies is one of the many agencies that are supported in part by the United Way of Junction City – Geary County.

Jill Nelson, Delivering Change Director, said that they have partnered with the United Way of Junction City – Geary County for three years now.

“I believe this is our third or our fourth year with them and each year we ask them specifically to fund a project that is not funded by another source that we are receiving; and so, this year we asked to receive money again for our ‘take home sleep sac’ program and Geary Community Hospital,” said Nelson.

The sleep sacs are given to all new mothers with babies born at Geary Community Hospital.

“[It is] a wearable blanket, and every new baby born at Geary Community Hospital goes home with one of those as their congratulations gift from the hospital,” said Nelson.

Nelson said that safe sleep practices are a top priority for Delivering Change. “We are really pushing safe sleep practices and so the wearable blanket is really encouraging in giving the parent that tool to take home and not have loose blankets in the crib with the baby.”
